Get yoyo-evolve with one command
Pick your system, reveal the step-by-step guide, copy the command, paste it into your terminal and press Enter. This command was taken from the project's own documentation and checked against it.
Not available for Windows yet.
yoyo-evolve doesn't publish an install command for Windows anywhere we can verify, so there's nothing for us to show you. We won't invent one. It does document one for macOS and Linux — switch to that tab.
Pastes into PowerShell and installs yoyo-evolve on your Windows machine in one step — no manual setup, no build tools. It fetches the project's own install script and runs it, which is the standard way these tools ship — worth a read if you like to know what's running.

How to set up yoyo-evolve, step by step
- Press Win+R to open the Run dialog.
- Press Ctrl+V to paste the command you just copied.
- Press Enter. A PowerShell window will flash; the installer runs.
The command fetches the project's own installer, marks it unblocked, and runs it from memory. You do not need to save the file. If Windows asks "Do you want to allow this app to make changes?", click Yes — the installer needs to add itself to your PATH.
What yoyo-evolve does
- run checks and auto-apply fixes for failures
- run build/test/clippy/fmt diagnostics (auto-detects Rust, Node, Python, Go, Make)
- Multi-turn conversation with full history tracking
- Automatic retry with exponential backoff and rate-limit awareness
- Auto-continue — detects when the model stops mid-work and automatically sends follow-up prompts (up to 5 per user turn, configurable)
- Provider failover — flag switches to backup provider on API failure with configurable priority

On mobile
yoyo-evolve is a command-line tool, so there is no phone app for it — a phone has no shell to run it in. You'll need a desktop, or a remote shell into a machine that has one.
yoyo-evolve is developed by its own authors. This page is an independent reference; we are not affiliated with or sponsored by the project. The command shown here was reproduced from the project's public documentation — always check the project's own documentation before running anything.
